Construction increases in the capital of Somalia and as Mogadishu is literally rising from the annual violence of violence also empowering women such as Fashi Momed Omar.
Two young women engineers have been independent of the construction of the low lower floor in Toleeh in Hodan region.
He is wearing heavy hats that use the materials, bringing out the instructions from the workers team – all men.
“When I first started, people were MS Abdi, 24, workingstore Arkan Engineering Services, Somalia-owned construction company, tells BBC.
“They would ask, ‘How can we trust the house made up of a woman? How can I trust my money and property and young women?'”
He and his colleagues Ms Omar have been making engineers over the last five years.
Mogadishu needs us, “said Ms. Omar, who said, 24.” When I was young, the city was in trouble. Now, we are part of its reconstruction. “
Somalia, who had been Italian colony, had a long battlefield after the President Siart Barre’s government crossed in January 1991.
Even now, decades of war are still seen – as in the Central region of a manner where there are bombed buildings. But the ruins are hidden or replaced by long buildings with long rooms and apartments, and Skyline has dots and cranes and scafffolding.
Both young women were born during the civil war and grew to witness their country. While many Somales chose to travel, they live in zealously and driven by rebuilding, despite the fact that the insurgency was launched in Al-Shabab, a group linked to al-Qaeda.
“I think it’s part of the reason for women who receive many opportunities in this field is because there is a lot of work to do, and not the experts do it,” said Msopa.

Ibrahim Abdi Sayyle, Chairman of the Somali Xeaders Association, approves the high demand for skilled experts leading to change – even if it goes a little bit of male dominated men.
“With progressive infrastructure, technological projects, load increasingly increasing.
“The Society believes that enabling women to engineers does not endeavor to fulfill growing demand but also brings various ideas and new solutions to the industry.”
According to the Mayor’s Mayor’s Office, over the last five years, more than 6,000 buildings have been made up of the city’s soil.
“The security of the Gadishu is advanced, leading to the increase in high and commercial structures,” said Salah Hassan Omar, spokesman.
However, it has not been an easy MS Abdi method and MS Omar as 5% of only 5% of women – and they often find opportunities to teach.
“When I applied for internships, many companies have rejected me,” recalls Ms. Oyar. “They didn’t think the woman could handle engineering demands. I still three months before the death of the person gave me the opportunity.”
Today, the two were among the well-known women engineer in Mogadishu, leaving more than 30 dollars projects.
“The city is now home to long buildings and modern infrastructure, distinguishing the past mogadish,” said Ms. Abbi watching proudly.

But not all people are happy with change. The Veteran Builder Sidord Cabdulla Boolaay brows the loss of the city character.
“The buildings once put Somalia before the war was not only good but also attracted attention to the Italian styles,” said BBC. “Mogadish City Arrangement was highly organized.”
Mr Boolaay also has security problems: “The sand used in the Mogadish Strategy is salty.”
The sand from the long coast of Somalia is usually used to make cement – a common practice, in many cases, blocked by worldwide building values because high salt content can cause steel rust.
“These long buildings are designed to end up fire or a large rain, and employers safety can be considered when development.
He recognizes the speed where buildings are built, what he says is a quality restriction.
For many years, there were no regulations, leading to concern for their integrity.
Mr. Omar, from the Mayor’s office, admits that this was three years ago – they said nothing to do with those facilities.
But she insists that now “quality control and no one will build a building without it”.
“We can [also] Preparing for new laws will clearly clarify the construction of the highest buildings when living housing should be built. “
However worrying that while the regulations are located – sometimes there are no next checks due to the speed of construction boom.

Nksz Abdi and Moks, graduated in Plasma University University Mogadishu Engineering Community, says under the stability of all their activities approved by local authorities.
Rapid growth of construction projects are included in Diaspora Investment and improved security – although Muslims controlling the largest South Somalia smugglers.
According to the World Bank, the 16.7% of the GDP Compliance Product (GDP) in 2022 – which provided opportunities for buildings for buildings and engineers.
But warming in the immediate cities has disclosed and mokadishu on infrastructure challenges – has a relevant sanitation system and the risks of non-water storage.
Christophe Hodder, UN climate safety and environmental advisor, warns that uncontrolled construction boom can lead to long-term natural effects.
“We need a combined method in water management, or risk the problem in the future. Each structure digs its Borehole … in a small area, there can be BBCs.
Government, in partnership with international organizations, works in a new sewage system, but its use may need to demolish existing buildings – the controversial movement that can remove residents and businesses.
Mr. Hordder adds that there are top people in Mogadishu – people enter the city in drought and conflict.
The increase in the number of urban population, especially in slum areas, may increase poverty and differences in society, he said.
Despite these challenges, the future of Mogadishu looks promising. The City strives to apply city development regulations, improve infrastructure and ensure continuous growth.
Even bombing with the Muslimese-armed Muslim group Al-Shabab – their tribes are inclined to direct Plush hotels that are usually administered by politicians – does not start the enthusiasm for Somali engineer.

Mr Herable admits that there may be frustrating for buildings and engineers in the destruction of destruction but noted Somalia simply – especially those who learn engineering.
Much explosion occurs; our dreams did not stop in that. Today we renew engineering work, which means that there is hope. “
And the desire to promote that in five years, Mogadishu will not be a modern city but also an exemplary rebuild.
“I believe Mogadishu is a different city if compared to the 1990s; the city has changed to a new styler, and Mogadishu Development is in the new country,” said Msopos.
“When I walked on the streets and I saw the buildings that I helped me to build, I feel proud. We are not just building buildings; we build hope.”
Ums Abdili admits, add: “We prove that women can only design buildings but take the projects and create a city.”
